If America is so unfair how is it that many of these Democrat politicians are millionaires?

@Eagle-Keeper

Can’t they teach others how to be a success as well?

Huh? Isn’t the whole point of increasing education funding to help people get taught?

When listening to these Democrat politicians speak I hear on occasion some make the claim that America is so unfair. But when you look at their net worth many are millionaires? Personally I find it disingenuous for a bunch of millionaires to make that claim, I mean how the heck did they make it so big? Is it really so difficult to make it to the middle class?

Shhhhhhhhh you aren’t suppose to notice that.

The things you people think pass for some sort of AHA! GOTCHYA moments is absolutely amazing.

It’s just nonsensical.

What do you mean “you people”?

You people.

You guys bitch no matter what. Democrats cant be old,white,rich , women, muslims, whatever. What politicians should we let run?

[wiley8425]

Rich old white men apparently. Previous experience not required or desired either.

It’s always been that way. Even the Founders were wealthy land owners. Best government money can buy. Government of the wealthy, by the wealthy, for the wealthy.

A few of the founders were wealthy…most were… comfortable.

It will be interesting to watch AOCs net worth over the next couple years and compare that to her salary.

Should be quite telling.

Not implying that most in congress don’t play the game. Just eyeing her because we know she didn’t have much when entering office.

[Blackwolf]

The only person America is unfair to is Donald. And mean, too.

We know this to be true because he’s tweeted about it. A lot.

[westaussie]

Of your country’s population of upwards of over 300 million how many millionaires/billionaires are there?

[bigtwnvin]

Democrats love millionaires, the more you make the more they can take. The more they take the more they give away. The more they give away the more power they retain.
Simple really.

@Kevhead

The way it is you almost have to be rich or extremely well connected to get elected for congress. Middle class and poor cant afford to run for congress. Face it we are governed by the well to do. A presidential run will cost ya at least half a billion, senatorial probably at least a 100 million. Blame the system

True. Why? Because: media.

[WuWei]

@wiley8425

Why is that odd? Politicians set it up to work that way. At least they aren’t voting themselves pay raises too. Oh wait.

The pay isn’t how they get rich. The influence peddling is.

[WuWei]

A buttload. Metric.

Your premise is flawed.

If someone is smart enough to recognize how unfair the system is they are also likely smart enough to take advantage of the system to their own benefit. Recognizing how the system is rigged is no reason to become a victim of it. That would be just dumb.

As Donald Trump pointed out in a 2016 debate, the low tax rate he paid was a demonstration that we was smart.

So it’s ok for dems to get over on the system.

[Camp]

That is how I read it. The D are superior because they want to reform…while making sure they are positioned to take advantage of the reforms first.

Very benevolent of them.

Never said that. All I was saying is that many people – including both Democrats and Republicans are smart enough to take advantage of the system.

That’s separate from two other questions:

Ethical question: should “the system” be made more fair
Poltiidal question: if it should be made more fair how would you accomplish that.

All I am saying is its disingenuous to fault one group of people for taking advantage of the opportunities afforded to them.
